Energy Labels for Fridges, Dishwashers And Washing Machines - Helping You Make the Right Choice

The European Community Energy Label must be displayed on all new domestic refrigerators, freezers and fridge-freezer combinations, washing machines, electric tumble dryers, combined washer-dryers and dishwashers.

What can I do?

Use the Energy Label To Choose More Efficient Products and Save you Money. The more efficient the product, the less energy it needs to do the same job and the more you get for your money.

'A' rated products are the most efficient and 'G' rated products are the least efficient. Use the main 'A - G' scale to calculate the energy consumption and find the best buy.

For example, if you were buying a large fridge-freezer, choosing a 'B' rated model to replace a similar 'E' rated model could mean: n 1 year - you save £15 in electricity
in 10 years - you save £150
So, by choosing the more efficient model you can save money on your electricity bills!
